The purpose of this project is to examine wetland reclamation, restoration and criteria and indicator frameworks that are currently operating in different jurisdictions: the case studies in these jurisdictions will inform the wetland reclamation criteria and indicator system for the oil sands. The ASG recognizes that developing wetland criteria and indicators has broad implications for government, industry, and stakeholders and a solid foundation is required to inform the development of criteria and indicators for Alberta wetlands. The focus was to develop the use of these frameworks rather than examining and evaluating specific indicators within the frameworks.
